In the case of a transcript of a film or television episode, ideally it is a verbatim record. Because closed-captioning is usually written separately, its text may have errors and does not necessarily reflect the true Canonical transcript. Old_Starman is responsible for this transcript. It is one in the series of the Official Lost Podcasts. Kris White: What\u2019s going on with Locke\u2019s body? Will we see Theresa again? And which LOST actor does Damon most want to see on \u201CDancing With The Stars\u201D? We will answer to those questions and more in today\u2019s Official LOST Audio Podcast. Carlton Cuse: Buenos d\u00EDas, Damon! Damon Lindelof: Wow! A foreign tongue this morning! Hello, Carlton! Carlton Cuse: Oui. What\u2019s going on, Damon? Damon Lindelof: We\u2019re doing a podcast apparently sitting on the couch. Carlton Cuse: Sitting on the couch. We got our wonderful producer Kris White here today with this hi-tech car board box with microphones on it and\u2026 Damon Lindelof: We spare no expense for you guys. Carlton Cuse: This is a very classy podcast. We\u2019re gonna rehash the most reason episode of LOST \u201CThis Place Is Death\u201D Damon Lindelof: Really a nice\u2026 just I fill good theme. Carlton Cuse: I think as the season goes on if you as welcome to see there were dead or death appears in many of the titles this year. Damon Lindelof: Right. Ironically, we were just talking about the writers offices that day and decided to title the episode \u201CThis Place Is Death\u201D and gave this line to Charlotte to justify it. Carlton Cuse: It\u2019s actually more fun than death to be in the writer\u2019s offices. They\u2019re really\u2026 Damon Lindelof: \u2026slightly. I mean I\u2019ve never been dead, so, I don\u2019t know\u2026 Locke\u2026 looks like he is having a good time. Looks like he is relaxing. Carlton Cuse: Yes. There is not a lot of stress for him at the moment. Damon Lindelof: Which is more than I can say for us. Carlton Cuse: That\u2019s true. We have a lot of stress. We\u2019re trying to get the finale written right know. But we are taking a little brief interlude to have this podcast. So, let\u2019s get ride to little recap here Damon. So, this was the big Rousseau story that we were promising the viewers about, was it not? Damon Lindelof: Yes, well we said we\u2019d be seen Rousseau again and we sure did\u2026and as opposed to doing it\u2026cause\u2026since\u2026 Rousseau was shot last year by Keamy and his pals. The only way to do it was time travel. So, that when we\u2019re sitting around going \u201Cwell, the fans really want more Rousseau, let\u2019s introduce time travel into the show, that\u2019s probably the best way to do it\u201D. So, we hope you\u2019re happy. Carlton Cuse: And you saw Brennan and Robert and Lacombe\u2026 Damon Lindelof: And of course, Montand (Carlton and Damon are pronouncing \u201CMontand\u201D together). So, the big mystery of Montand\u2019s arm is finally been revealed. Carlton Cuse: The truth for us was that we really didn\u2019t give much of a damn about telling Rousseau\u2019s back story, but were incredibly determined to explain to the audience how Montand lost his arm. Damon Lindelof: And we\u2019re gonna go a lot further with it but if you look very carefully \u2013 there is a violin case that Montand is carrying around. So the whole idea that Montand was an aspiring concert violinist once he finished this research trip. The fact that he lost his arm is all the more tragic. Carlton Cuse: Yeah. Well, apparently, the arm was the least of his problems ultimately, wasn\u2019t it? Damon Lindelof: That is true. Carlton Cuse: He got sucked down there by Smokey into\u2026 Would you say that's Smokey\u2019s main house or his summer palace? Damon Lindelof: I would say it\u2019s his Camp David. When he is not where he lives, that\u2019s just where he hangs out. We referred it internally as the declivity. Carlton Cuse: The declivity in the Temple wall. Damon Lindelof: Yes, exactly. Well that isn\u2019t necessarily saying that that is the Temple. But that is perhaps the outer wall of the Temple. Carlton Cuse: Yes. The Temple would be just on the other side, you might have to hike a little bit. Damon Lindelof: Will we be returning to this location again, Carlton? Carlton Cuse: Damn straight we will, Damon. Damon Lindelof: And are we supposed to infer that as a result of descending into the declivity when Robert and the rest of the team went down there that they came back a little different? Carlton Cuse: They came back a little wacky and Rousseau was very concerned about their behavior. Whatever happened to them down there the encounter with Smokey did alter them and not for the better. Damon Lindelof: They didn\u2019t seem wacky to me, they seem perfectly rational, except Robert tries to shoot Rousseau of course. Carlton Cuse: Yeah. That wasn\u2019t good. But then of course Rousseau had popped\u2026 I assume that was Brennan and Lacombe. Damon Lindelof: Yes. So, it\u2019s which, who went wacky first, the chicken-and-the-egg. Carlton Cuse: We also saw a very sane Rousseau at least at the beginning of this. Very kind of a wonderful actress. Rousseau was kind of a nice girl until everything went wrong for her, wasn\u2019t she? Damon Lindelof: Yeah. Well, you know, the Island will do it to you. Especially when people are flashing into out of existence and disappear and\u2026 Oh, it\u2019s just a wild and wildly place, isn\u2019t it? Carlton Cuse: That is a very wild and wildly place. So, I don\u2019t think we can really say too much about Episode 507 other than it\u2019s called \u201C316\u201D which is confusing enough in itself. Damon Lindelof: Speaking of confusing. When Carlton says \u201CEpisode 507\u201D which is the next Episode you seen\u2026 we actually wrote 506 and 507 fairly simultaneously. Carlton and I wrote both those scripts. You know, one of them is called \u201CThe Life And Death Of Jeremy Bentham\u201D, the other is \u201C316\u201D, and for reasons that will become apparent you once you\u2019ve seen both Episodes \u2013 they can sort of be watched in either order. But we actually felt like the order that made more sense, I mean was cooler, was to show \u201C507\u201D first. This is only happened once before in the history of the Show for those of you die-hard fans, we challenge you to figure out when that was. Carlton Cuse: That was way back. Damon Lindelof: Way back in Season 1. Carlton Cuse: In Season 1. So, anyway, \u201C316\u201D felt like it was better to see in front of the \u201CThe Life And Death Of Jeremy Bentham\u201D. And that Episode as the title may infer, you know, has to do with Locke. But I, there is probably some good information to get in \u201C316\u201D before we get to explaining how was that Locke\u2026 Well I guess if it\u2019s called \u201CThe Life And Death\u2026\u201D I would assume that we\u2019re gonna find out\u2026 Damon Lindelof: How Locke ended up in that coffin. Carlton Cuse: That\u2019s right. Damon Lindelof: It\u2019s exciting. Carlton Cuse: That\u2019s good. Damon Lindelof: Well, I can\u2019t wait. Carlton Cuse: We\u2019re blasting long here today folks and not gonna take a lot of your precious time. And we\u2019re gonna go right to\u2026 Damon Lindelof: I wouldn\u2019t really use the word \u201Cblasting\u201D. Carlton Cuse: Questions! Damon Lindelof: All right, Carlton, you\u2019re wanna go first, you obvious are very excited. Carlton Cuse: I am very excited! Damon Lindelof: Ok, go for it. Who is this from? Carlton Cuse: OK. There is a sort of a theme to my questions today and this is from mostly from Canadians and this is from Red Deer in Alberta, Canada. \u201CWhich cast member of LOST would you like to see become a successful cast member of the show \u201CDancing With The Stars\u201D?\u201D Damon Lindelof: Wow! Hmm! Wow! That is an question! I think the obvious answer here is Hurley. Carlton Cuse: Did you see the Steve Wozniak is gonna be on \u201CDancing With The Stars\u201D this season? Damon Lindelof: No I didn\u2019t see that. What did they pay you? What did they pay you to plug \u201CDancing With The Stars\u201D? Carlton Cuse: Nothing! Damon Lindelof: I did not see that but I will be tuning in because\u2026 Carlton Cuse: Lawrence Taylor and Woz going head to head\u2026come on. Damon Lindelof: That\u2019s unbelievable. You\u2019re not really interested in how I would answer this question. You just were like \u201COh, here is my opportunity to make\u2026\u201D Carlton Cuse: No, no, no! Hurley, please! Please, tell me why Hurley? Damon Lindelof: I would like to see Jorge because I believe he could win \u201CDancing With The Stars\u201D. And I\u2019ve seen Jorge\u2019s moves and they are impressive to say the least. And that would be my guess. Well, I can\u2019t wait to see what the emergent theme of your questions, Carlton. I have some suspicions they\u2019re all involve you getting paid by ABC for plugging their shows. My question is from Todd B. in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Carlton Cuse: Uhhh! Home of the Dharma Initiative\u2026 Damon Lindelof: That is my understanding. \u201CIn the Episode \u201CJughead\u201D when Desmond finds Theresa after talking to janitor in Oxford. Is Theresa in the same kind of time trance as Eloise the rat or George Minkowski from the freighter?\u201D This is a serious question, Carlton, because we often\u2026 Carlton Cuse: I would say that\u2019s a very perceptive observation, I mean, clearly, we kind of have some information from \u201CThe Constant\u201D. There was some research going on with Faraday that involved other subjects and it\u2019s entirely plausible that his friend Theresa might have been someone who he tried to do little consciousness travelling with. And things didn\u2019t work out too well. Damon Lindelof: I really hope we\u2019ll see Theresa again because I\u2019d like to know the answer to this question. Carlton Cuse: Well, I think you might! That\u2019s exciting. Damon Lindelof: You heard it here first folks. Carlton Cuse: Right, Damon, here we go. Damon Lindelof: All right, you ask your silly questions and I\u2019ll ask the questions people want answered. Carlton Cuse: \u201CHi Damon and Carlton\u201D, this is good. You answer Canadian questions, right? \u201CThe \u201COceanic 6\u201D needs to take John Locke\u2019s body back with them to the Island. Oceanic 815 also had a body on board Christian Shephard. So, my question is \u201CWhat\u2019s Christian Shephard\u2019s body in any way a factor in the 815 making it to the Island? And if Locke might not be gone for good, as Ben suggested, is resurrection of a sort possible for Christian?\u201D I know you guys said definitively that he was dead, but is he more than just an image that Island is using to communicate?\u201D Damon Lindelof: Well, I\u2019m afraid we don\u2019t answer Canadian questions. (Carlton and Kris are laughing) But that was really well thought out to\u2026 Just nothing against Canada, there are many wonderful people there, but we don\u2019t answer. Well, in all seriousness, I think that this is an excellent question and in next Episode \u201C316\u201D you might find someone is talking about John Locke\u2019s body in relation to Christian Shephard\u2019s body and the word \u201Cproxy\u201D might be mentioned. That\u2019s your word for the day \u2013 \u201Cproxy\u201D. (Carlton and Damon are pronouncing word \u201Cproxy\u201D simultaneously) Carlton Cuse: Awesome. Ok. Damon Lindelof: All right, Carlton. I said only straight serious questions. This is one that I\u2019d never been ask before and I think Jae Dally from Chicago, Illinois wants to know and this is one that I know you can answer. \u201CWhat happened to Bpo Bpo, Sun\u2019s dog? Was the dog put in a kennel before Sun and Jin got on flight 815? If so, did Sun pick up Bpo Bpo after getting back from the Island?\u201D Carlton Cuse: Good God\u2026 Bpo Bpo is with Libby and Kate\u2019s plane and they\u2019re having their own spin off series. Damon Lindelof: Well, there you go. Coming soon on ABC\u2026 Carlton Cuse: Bpo Bpo? I am just gonna say right now Bpo Bpo might be one of those mysteries that just doesn\u2019t get answered by the end of Year 6. Damon Lindelof: Bpo Bpo is right there at the top of mysteries that we don\u2019t think are mysteries. Of which there will be many hounding us at the end of the show. Carlton Cuse: Oh! Hounding us? Damon Lindelof: Oh, good God! Next question. Final question, Carlton. You have a final one then I have a final. Carlton Cuse: All right. This is sticking with my theme, this is from Jessy in Toronto, Ontario. \u201CHey, guys!\u201D One of your loyal Canadian fans here, Damon. \u201CJust had a question from Season 4 Episode 'The Other Woman'. During that therapy session with Juliet and Harper Harper mentions that Juliet looks like her. I was wondering if this was a reference to either Ben\u2019s mother or Ben\u2019s childhood friend Annie both of whom share resemblance with Juliet. Thanks.\u201D Damon Lindelof: That\u2019s a very insightful question and I think hopefully you\u2019ll be getting the answer before the series is over but you\u2019re asking exactly the right question. My therapy says that basically your mother is the only one who counts in, so you keep sort of trying to replicate that through your life. Carlton Cuse: Ok. Damon Lindelof: \u201CDear sneaky executive producers! You are so busted!\u201D says Stacey Je from Raleigh, North Carolina. \u201CI\u2019m not sure where all that zombie talk originated but you guys have known all along that Season 5 would in fact be the Zombie Season. Jin and Danielle raised from the dead, Jin\u2019s lips even look to little zombiesh when they pull him to shore, could have been the sun and salt water, but my money is on zombie. And I have no doubt that once Locke is brought back to the Island he will also take zombie form and live again. What\u2019s next? Nikki and Paulo up from their graves? That\u2019s it \u2013 no question. Just wanted you to know that the jig was up, or is it gig? Ok, that\u2019s my question \u2013 is it jig or gig?\u201D Carlton Cuse: (laughing) I think it\u2019s jig, I think a gig\u2026 I think it\u2019s jig. The jig is up like\u2026 I keep thinking of like some sort of you know old like Warner Brothers crime drama \u2013 \u201Cthe jig is up, Damon\u201D. Damon Lindelof: If you think about the origin of it \u201Cthe jig is up\u201D. Is this some sort of a dance thing just to go back to your\u2026 It\u2019s like basically everybody is kind of a dancing around and the guy says \u201CAll right everybody, the jig is up!\u201D Carlton Cuse: The jig is up. It\u2019s for addition. Hide the bottles. Here we come with the Tommy Guns. Damon Lindelof: Right. So I\u2019m wanna go with jig. Carlton Cuse: And I\u2019m wanna say \u201CStacey, we\u2019re busted\u201D. That\u2019s it. You have done it. People ask us all the time how the fan ever figure out the show, the answer is \u201Cyes, Stacey, you have\u201D. Season 5 is Zombie Season. Damon Lindelof: Season 5 is in fact Zombie Season. Carlton Cuse: Subversively hidden under the guise of time travel. Damon Lindelof: All righty, well, why even continue? Great podcast. By great I mean mediocre. Carlton Cuse: I\u2019m sorry we couldn\u2019t get to this question which is, you know \u201CDamon and Carlton, if you wrote Star Wars Episodes 1 through 3 what major changes would you have made?\u201D Damon Lindelof: I\u2019m glad that you didn\u2019t get to that question here day. Carlton Cuse: That\u2019s for another time. Damon Lindelof: Yeah, let\u2019s start with the Jar Jar\u2026 Star Wars has own Nikki and Paulo. Carlton Cuse: All right, guys, well, thanks for checking us out this week. We will back to you very soon with another LOST podcast and hope you enjoy the show this week and thanks as always for paying attention. Damon Lindelof: Yough, Canada! Carlton Cuse: Bye!"@en . .
